<h2>Research Agenda</h2> 

My primary interest is in geometric algorithms with an emphasis on
practical applications.  These practical applications have included
placement, motion planning, shape comparison, vision, sensing, and

My work on mesh generation is one example of the geometric issues that
arise as part of the problem of automatically generating scientific
software.  The goal here is to raise the level at which such software is
specified by developing an environment in which scientific software can
be created using the natural, high-level, mathematical concepts of
physics and engineering.  Thus a program is specified implicitly as a
collection of mathematical equations.  Geometric and symbolic techniques
are then used to transform these mathematical expressions into effective
programs.<p>
